Chapter 397

As the group walked and chatted, the figure of Ye Hun inadvertently caught Marshal Li’s peripheral vision. He reflected on the fact that only the students at Youmen Pass had been ambushed and killed. From various perspectives, it seemed logical enough. Yuyang Pass was under the steady command of Tang Yuan, making it undoubtedly secure, and Qianyuan Pass was the closest, meaning the risk of a failed ambush there was highest. Youmen Pass had been the easiest target; choosing it was understandable. Everything seemed normal—if he were the attacker, he would also have chosen the most vulnerable Youmen Pass, especially if someone had provided the information. But was it really that simple? What was hidden behind this ambush? Who was the person who provided the intelligence? Or was there no such person at all—was this a deliberate attempt to mislead them?
